In various electronics applications inorganic particles are indispensable in order to achieve the desired effect. One of the most prominent applications of AEROSIL® fumed silica and AEROXIDE® fumed metal oxides is CMP (Chemical-Mechanic Planarization), in which the particles function as abrasives.

Manufacturing steps and materials in the integrated circuit (IC) value chain, as well as in the display and LED industries, do also require the use of inorganic particles, be it as powder (AEROSIL® and AEROXIDE®) or already dispersed in liquid (AERODISP®).
